Bissell CleanView Swivel
Score: 76/100Rankings

The Bissell CleanView Swivel 3836 is a bagless upright with strong suction, swivel steering and a Triple Action Brush Roll, making it effective for pet hair on multiple floor types. It lacks edge-sweep brushes, a brush-on/off switch, and automatic cord rewind, limiting convenience. Ideal for pet owners who value performance and maneuverability at a budget-friendly price.

The Bissell 2252 CleanView Swivel Upright provides strong 800 W suction, two-axis swivel steering, and HEPA filtration, making it effective for pet hair in compact settings. However, its lightweight construction feels cheap, the cleaning path is narrow, and it lacks a brush-roll shutoff and cord rewind. Suited for pet owners needing agile, budget-friendly performance.

Professional reviewers consider the Bissell 2252 an impressive budget upright that exceeds expectations with perfect deep-clean scores, solid multi-cyclonic suction and ergonomic swivel steering. They appreciate its lightweight construction and pet-specific tools, but note shortcomings such as a cheap feel, propensity to tip, a narrow cleaning path, and missing features like a brush-roll shutoff and automatic cord rewind.
Everyday users consistently praise the vacuum's powerful suction, lightweight maneuverability and pet-hair performance, calling it a great value and easy to empty.
